    While it's not necessary to chill the tomato mixture in the fridge for an hour before using, I do recommend it. This will give all the ingredients a chance to meld together.

      This Copycat Cheesecake Factory Bruschetta is fantastic. I have made bruschetta before, but not like this one. It was so delicious that I will never make any other recipe again.
